Med School Admissions Tip: Timing is Essential

It is important that your experiences and activities be an ongoing process.  Do not start your extracurricular experiences right before applying to medical school.  This will be viewed as simply getting the experiences because you have to, instead of doing them because of your own interest or desire.  Also, keep in mind that the applicant…
